Okay I deserved that!   But truly, what you need to know for the networking
exam you probably have already dealt with or just need to have a cheat sheet
for to memorize right before you go in the exam center.  In otherwords, it
is really straightforward and tests your ability to load stuff into your
RAM.

Yeah, I actually didn't study for the last exam I took at all.  I felt
guilty but what can you do?

Dennis, 



I just finished the 8i upgrade (and passed it) and am now studying for the 
9i upgrade. 



It is frustrating to study and learn stuff that you will never use - but 
need to know to pass the test. 



But so far, my experience has been that I worry too much about passing (so I



study more than I probably need to).  But, it's working for me, so I guess 
I'm doing it right! 



keep on truckin!

Thanks Scott. I decided to take the 8i path because the study materials were



more readily available, so after I complete the remaining modules, I will 
need to turn around and do the 9i upgrade. Probably complete it just in time



to do the 10i upgrade. :-) 


   So far, I've taken: 



    
  
  1.   Backup & Recovery. I did this to force myself to learn RMAN (Robert's 
book wasn't out yet. Tough because most of us (if we're lucky) don't do 
recovery much. 
  
  2.   Performance Tuning. Not as bad because I've studied tuning quite a bit 
over the years. But still a lot of material. 
  
  3.   SQL & PL/SQL was yesterday's exam. I found the SQL parts easy because 
I've done quite a bit of SQL over the years. But I've done very little with 
PL/SQL, so that was more difficult. 






Everybody tells me the Admin exam isn't very bad for experienced DBAs. I'm 
considering a quick brush-up and take that one before summer. That would 
leave me with networking and everybody says that is hard because most of us 
have little network background. 



My experience with the 9i Upgrade is that the material isn't difficult, but 
there is just a LOT of material to master. After all, Oracle wants to ensure



everyone knows all the new features. 



I don't know if it is just me, but it seems hard to work and come up with 
time to study. But I'm not hoping for a change in THAT circumstance!! ;-)

Yeah Dennis, Congratulations!!!  Which exam did you just pass?  I need to 
start looking into studying for the 9i upgrade exam soon.
